About Chris

The journey began for Chris Hind Entertainment Productions in 1999. Chris got his first opportunity to score and sound design a theatrical play. More plays followed and then short and feature films. With seemingly no end to his creative potential, Chris began writing film and tv scripts and even a few radio plays. Then came video editing and directing and it's all blossomed into The Alternative Method - his online docuseries which Chris writes, directs, scores, sound designs, video edits and hosts! Phew! (takes a breath)
​
Chris has also been an instructor at Vancouver Film School, PAVI and Columbia Academy. And he'll shortly be launching his 8 week online video course "Introduction to Scriptwriting" which he adapted from a weekend workshop he used to teach live in-person.
​
And he does much more than all that! If you'd like to learn more and inquire about his availability to work on one of your projects - just give
him a shout on email. He's very approachable - think PitBull trained by zen masters!
